The notion of 'silence' in Politics and International Relations has
come to imply the absence of voice in political life and, as such,
tends to be scholastically prescribed as the antithesis of
political power and political agency. However, from Emma Gonzales's
three minutes of silence as part of her address at the March for
Our Lives, to Trump's attempts to silence the investigation into
his campaign's alleged collusion with Russia, along with the
continuing revelations articulated by silence-breakers of sexual
harassment, it is apparent that there are multiple meanings and
functions of political silence - all of which intersect at the
nexus of power and agency. Dingli and Cooke present a complex
constellation of engagements that challenge the conceptual
limitations of established approaches to silence by engaging with
diverse, cross-disciplinary analytical perspectives on silence and
its political implications in the realms of: environmental
politics, diplomacy, digital privacy, radical politics, the
politics of piety, commemoration, international organization and
international law, among others. Contributors to this edited
collection chart their approaches to the relationship between
silence, power and agency, thus positing silence as a productive
modality of agency. While this collection promotes intellectual and
interdisciplinary synergy around critical thinking and research
regarding the intersections of silence, power and agency, it is
written for scholars in politics, international relations theory,
international political theory, critical theory and everything in
between.
